Answer 2

Answer:

25.33

Step-by-step explanation:

given triangle PQR ~ triangle JKL

the ratio of the lengths of their sides are the same

i.e

$\frac{KL}{QR} =\frac{JK}{PQ} =\frac{JL}{PR}$

in our case, we are given JL, PR and PQ and we are asked to find JK

hence

JK/PQ = JL/PR  (rearranging)

JK = (JL/PR) x PQ

= (28/42) x 38

= 25.33333

= 25.33 (2 dec. pl)
